Chatham Man Raising Youth Mental Health Awareness

Chatham native Mike Neuts will drop the puck at tonight's Sarnia Sting home opener against the Erie Otters.

He's taking part in the ceremonial opening faceoff to raise awareness about his non-profit youth mental health charity, "Make Children Better Now."

Neuts' 10-year-old son was found hanging from a coat hook in a bathroom stall at his Chatham school in 1998.

Mike says his charity has helped thousands of children battling mental health issues.

You can hear tonight's Sting game LIVE on CHOK beginning with the pregame show at 6:30pm.
